CityCouncil | 2015-11-04 | 24 | 504 The City Attorney responded staff can do so. In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry regarding a referendum, the Assistant City Attorney outlined the process. Councilmember Oddie stated that he would want to extend the moratorium if a referendum is filed. The City Attorney stated the moratorium could be extended until the new ordinance is in effect. The City Clerk read the definition of base rent to add to the ordinance: "Base rent' means the rental amount, including any amount paid directly to the Housing Provider for parking, storage or any other fee or charge associated with the tenancy (other than fees or charges for utilities paid directly to the housing provider), that the Tenant is required to pay to the Housing Provider in the month immediately preceding the effective date of the rent increase." Vice Mayor Matarrese stated since the moratorium is being conditioned with 8%, so he does not believe there should be an appeal process for hardships. The Assistant City Attorney noted a procedure should be provided if the moratorium is extended. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated the language should remain unchanged. Councilmember Oddie requested the wording be read back. The City Clerk read the language added to Section 2 (a) and (b). The City Attorney clarified the language added to evictions would be: "as authorized by State law." The City Clerk noted the definition of rent would also be added. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft moved approval of the urgency ordinance as amended. Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
